Professor Joseph Potts Funk organized and founded Corydon High School in
1876 with first graduates in 1879. A native of Elizabeth, Indiana,
Prof. Funk
received his college education from Bloomington Campus of Indiana
University
and later at N.N.V. Lebanon, Ohio.
After leaving his position here in 1887 he became principal at New
Albany High,
which he held until his death in 1904.
This was in the Monday Shopper, 16 APR 2001 newspaper.
I'm hoping it may help someone out.
Sincerely,
ljuhl
